THURSDAY 5:30pm - Brazilian Film Screening: "A Sunday with Frederico Morais" (followed by Q&A with the director)

by DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program

*DRCLAS Film Series Event: Screening of A Sunday with Frederico Morais* *A Sunday with Frederico Morais* (2011), 60 minutes, in Portuguese (with English subtitles) Guilherme Coelho, Director Date: Thursday, October 13th Time: 5:30-8:00 pm Location: CGIS South, Tsai Auditorium (Room S-010), 1730 Cambridge Street, Cambridge Contact: Paola Ibarra, pibarra(a)fas.harvard.edu The film is an intimate encounter with Frederico Morais, art critic and creator of the Sundays of Creation, a series of events that shook up Rio de Janeiro's Museum of Modern Art between January and July 1971. With interviews with such artists as Cildo Meireles, Amir Haddad and Regina Casé, the documentary recounts Frederico's trajectory from his arrival in Rio in 1965 to his fundamental role in organizing the Sundays of Creation, while shedding light on his views on the relation between artists and critics. Premieres at Rio International Film Festival 2011 and Mostra Internacional de Cinema de São Paulo. Guilherme Coelho was born in 1979 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After graduating in Economics, while also studying journalism and theater (and being a lover of cinema), Guilherme directed his first feature-documentary, Fala Tu, Lives of Rhyme (Berlin Film Festival 2004) - a blissful encounter of filmmakers hungry for fulfilling experiences, and characters trying to make a living through music, poetry and politics in Rio de Janeiro. Since then, Guilherme has been involved in several projects at Matizar Filmes, directing three other documentaries, two TV series and producing seven other documentaries, including the latest two documentaries by Brazilian master filmmaker Eduardo Coutinho. After ten-years in documentary, Guilherme is now focused on learning and bringing to Matizar knowledge and methods for developing scripts in fiction, and meanwhile he will continue to produce documentaries directed by emerging and established talents. *This is the U.S. premiere of A Sunday With Frederico Morais. There will be a Q&A with the director (in English) following the screening.* *Co-sponsored by ARTS@DRCLAS and the DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program*

Friday & Saturday, October 7-8 - South America Project (SAP): Hinterland Urbanisms (Symposium and Network Launch)

by DRCLAS Brazil Studies Program

*South America Project (SAP): Hinterland Urbanisms - Symposium and Network Launch* The South America Project (SAP) is a trans-continental applied research network that proactively endorses the role of design within rapidly transforming geographies of the South American Continent. SAP specifically focuses on how a spatial synthesis best afforded by design can provide alternative physical and experiential identities to the current spatial transformations reshaping the South American Hinterland, in particular fast paced modes of resource extraction and an unprecedented regional integration at a continental scale (primarily through roads, fluvial corridors, and telecommunication networks). Launched by Felipe Correa and Ana María Durán, with the support of the Department of Urban Planning and Design at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, the project brings together a broad host of academic institutions, scholars and designers from diverse fields, in order to create a projective platform that can allow for architecture and the diverse disciplines affiliated to the constructed environment to actively partake in proposing more comprehensive models of urbanization for South America. For more information about SAP, the symposium schedule, and the event’s speakers please see the link below. *http://www.sap-network.org/2011/08/south-america-project-hinterland.html* Friday, October 7th and Saturday, October 8th* Stubbins Room, Gund Hall, 48 Quincy Street, Cambridge* Contact: sapnetwork.blog(a)gmail.com
